A BBC News article highlights the NHS and University of Cambridge’s joined forces to create a “kinder” treatment for people with cancer.   The article highlights that ~30% of patients receiving CAR T cell treatment might need to spend time in the intensive care unit.   While the hope is for the lab to explore making therapies more effective and less toxic for patients, Poolbeg Pharma plc is developing a preventative therapy targeting cancer immunotherapy-induced CRS, which has the potential to positively impact patients & healthcare systems worldwide by enabling broader, safer delivery of these therapies to the cancer patients who need them.   Read the article here: https://lnkd.in/ep9buQJB   ✍️ Janine Machin

Insightful Financial Times article around the significant developments being made in cancer immunotherapy. 🏥 The first paediatric patient to receive CAR T cell therapy has been cancer-free since 2012 but the therapy "induced a raging fever.. and she had to be put into a medically induced coma." 🔬 Remission rates for patients with some forms of blood cancers treated with CAR T-cell therapy can exceed 80 per cent. 🧬 c. 2.7k cell therapies are under development with an astonishing rate of innovation We hope that #POLB 001 can help to realise the full potential of CAR T-cell therapy to address this significant unmet need. https://lnkd.in/eAuuZDqk #CART #CellTherapy #Cancer #CancerTreatment #Cancers #POLB
